It's a grueling day
my mind is empty
nothing more to say.
The doctor's words
softly spoken,
so well-meaning.
I need to do it
if I . . .
still wish to live.
I lay motionless
on my bed
tears in sweet caress.
I have no one
to confide my fear
of the life
I ought to surrender.
It's always fun
and laughter
I share to everybody
hence,
no one thinks
am suffering
all the way.
This could be
so easy
as I had been
long ago
in the same way.
All I did was pray
and God's mercy
saved me.
Blood transfusion
is temporary solution
for now
to carry on
until the day
of summon.
I wish this day
not to finish
but time is moving
as it is.
Soon . . .
midnight passes
for dawn to peep,
sunshine lights
the day,
and blood will flow
unto me,
renewing hope
for another day.
